The fun challenge of #SuitcaseCarry a sandbag for 12 km in #Wien / #Vienna while doing brief site seeing and #OpenStreetMap.
Towards the center/east of Wien there is the opportunity to do some #MicroMapping. Also there are lots of potential in adding waste baskets and dog stations.
My grip was almost gone the last couple of km, but it could also be due to doing pull-ups on `playground=horizontal_bar`, 3 x 10 #PullUps.

For a company that's trying to look tough, Wolfpak has a hilarious list of licensed products. Barbie? Scooby Doo? Powerpuff Girls? https://wolfpak.com/pages/collab
If I still hung out in #GORUCK spaces, I'm sure we'd be making fun of these collabs. Suburban macho backpackers are petty like that.

My beloved #GoRuck -original- GR-0 I used for EDC and travel finally ran into zipper trouble so I contacted their SCARS folks https://www.goruck.com/pages/scars-lifetime-guarantee
Unfortunately it didn't make sense to fix the old one so they sent me a -new- 21L GR-1 (basically the updated version of the GR-0)
I've had a couple of quibbles with their customer service over the years over event refunds and such, but when they say "lifetime guarantee" for their gear they mean LIFETIME

@APBBlue How does the saying go? It is better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war
If you get one, please also learn how to use it. I've done a bunch of the #GoRuck shooting classes https://www.goruck.com/pages/tactical-events. They're pretty beginner-friendly and will definitely make you safer and better able to handle firearms. They'll even rent you guns if you don't have one (or at least they used to - haven't done a class in a while)

#2025in2025 (38 / 1427.12 / 1509 / 2025 )
Participated in an old school #GORUCK Tough which starts at 21:00 and lasts about 12 hours. No phones or watched permitted throughout the event.
Due to the knee injury pushed recovery to last possible day before testing if healed enough for the event. Thus did about 50 km within 3 days.

@noplasticshower I'm an unabashed fanboy for the #GoRuck gear. Everything they make is built like a brick shithouse and comes with a lifetime guarantee
If this is just going to be a piece of workout gear, I'd get the Rucker https://www.goruck.com/products/rucker
If you want to also use it for everyday carry, I'd look at the GR-0 or GR-1:

Who should do a #GORUCK event?
GORUCK events are for anyone who wants to learn in a sandbox environment.
In team events, #leadership and #TeamWork are in the forefront of learnings, though also putting yourself in uncomfortable situations and see if the obstacle will break you.
For lots just showing up is a hurdle to overcome, since you are intently putting yourself in an unfamiliar situation.
Then initially you will meet lots of strangers with lots of different personalities and beliefs. These are your team mates for the next x hours. Can they rely on you or are you able to rely on them.
A basic requirement is for each participant to carry their load to their current capacity. This doesn’t just mean to stubbornly carry your load to failure, but also be open for help and let your mate help you out. Because if you cannot continue further then you become an additional burden for the team. Sometimes it is wise to swallow your pride and/or ego to not become a hindrance.
Most people are not born leaders and everyone can benefit from practicing leadership in the field. On the flip side, lots that think that they are good leaders can benefit from being lead. This is an area of learning of knowing when it is the right time to step up your game and when to lay back.
The harmony between being the delegator and delegatee creates the best dynamic to get the team the furthest. And the team is only as strong as its weakest member.

Time to do an #introduction:
I am here sharing my favorite #exercise method: #rucking including #ruckPT and/or #sandbag #WOD.
I am currently training for #GoRuck #fitness events at the end of May in #Normandy #France.
Among other things, I am building a website to help new people to rucking find local #RuckClub|s| and/or #ruck specific events. Currently the focus is for the #DACH region.

#DailyBloggingChallenge (321/365)
When comparing the scraping method between Goruck’s and Sandlot’s page they differ quite significant.
On #Goruck one can use a simple #HTML parser and extract the data from a reusable #CSS class name.
On #Sandlot one has access to the response data as #JSON and needs to create a pattern/dictionary matcher.
-
DailyBloggingChallenge (305/365)
Considering the movement with #GORUCK’s #SimpleSandbag one only gets two vertical handles compared to #sandbag and its filler which has a whole arrangement of vertical, horizontal, and side handles. This can make the carrying of such bags more tedious depending on its fullness amount.
To ease the task of carrying one can acquire and use #RuckStraps. This has the benefit of freeing up one hand and giving a larger area to hold onto. Plus it can also mark the sandbags when participating in a competition.

"There is no losing. Only shades of winning".
Goruck Selection - a 48h tactical crossfit challenge - has ended.
Gratulations to all paricipants and especially Marc Buddensiek! -
Time to go to the start of #GORUCK #Selection.
How fast will they drop me...?

Hot hints from #rucking events
What to expect from rucking events, specifically on the example of #GORUCK events.
First off, GORUCK purposely doesn’t share anymore info than the packing list, starting point and time, and minimum duration of the event. This is to void any specific training towards such events and limit possible expectations.
In general the key focus is rucking undetermined distances with various weight and weather conditions, and occasional workouts.

Spring weather has finally arrived so that means I can wake up and Ruck

#DailyBloggingChallenge (198/200)
This test has a better alignment with the activities one will be doing.
Although they are all tests of endurance over various body regions, they give a pretty good baseline #fitness.
-
#DailyBloggingChallenge (197/200)
There are two issues with the typical performance test:
For the push ups it is hard to count the reps at the bottom portion where the upper arm should break parallel.
The sit ups test doesn’t carry over to core strength and barely ever used in compound movements.
Thus, #GORUCK made their own fitness test called “Baseline Functional Fitness Test” (“BFF Test”).

#DailyBloggingChallenge (192/200)
It is just over 100 days out until the first #GORUCK #Selection in #Normandy, #France.
The quoted post is an example workout of where to start if two years out with some fitness capabilities. The main issue is that the weight is about 20-60 lbs too light. Thus the plan that is constructed is to meet the fitness requirements and less on accomplishing the challenge.

@0x00string Thanks! Yeah the #GoRuck folks' rucksacks are built like brick shithouses. Have a bunch of them for different purposes. That's a Rucker 1.0 (think they're up to 4.0 now)
-
#DailyBloggingChallenge (185/200)
One downside of overpacking a #goruck #sandbag is that one cannot complete a clean as expected. Since the fingers won’t be able to rotate over without being caught in the mid seem.
One option to overcome this hindrance is to use less fingers, so either 3 or 2 instead of the standard 4.

@0x58 I've had a couple pairs of LALO Maximus Grinders https://lalo.com/collections/bud-s-maximus-grinder-1 and loved them but it seems like they may be out of stock. It looks like the BUD/S Grinder Xs (who names these shoes?) https://lalo.com/collections/grinder-men/products/grinder-x have the same lowers with a softer upper
The #GoRuck folks make great rucks/clothing/gear
and have been making footwear for a while https://www.goruck.com/collections/footwear I love their MACV boots for rucking. Haven't tried their CrossFit shoes but may be worth a look -

#DailyBloggingChallenge (65/100)
The consequence of constantly being reminded/required to take the packing list items, puts you into a routine of subconsciously taking it everywhere.
Some of the items that I always have with me are:
-
#DailyBloggingChallenge (64/100)
What you should know before a #GORUCK event?
The packing list is a requirement and in most events the organizer (aka Cadre) will check if every participant has brought everything.
If you failed to bring an item, the team (you and the other participants) will pay for it and love you afterwards.
Thus some participants take extra and check if everyone brought the packing list.
Some items are illogical to have like a headlamp during a day event and even in this situation better safe than sorry.
